Deep and complex on the nose, with notes of iris, citrus and black berries, rounded off with elegant balsamic notes. It lingers in the mouth, developing gradually with a tannic weave of rare finesse. The ultimate expression of Vallocaia’s Sangiovese. Pair with red meat and game, truffles, porcini mushrooms and mature cheeses. Enjoyable even unaccompanied.
